A NEW AMERICAN INDUSTRY.

Making Wine from Oranges-Utilizing
the Surplus in a Good Way.
The wonderful crop of oranges which has
been produced in California has led to the
manufacture of q new and on-alcoholic wine
from that fruit A gentleman who has tray
eled extensively in California, in conversa-
ton with reporter thus described the pro-
cess: "1n San Gabriel. Los Angeles county,
Cal, where the sweet navel or seedless orange
grows to great perfection and in large guam
titles, the Mexican residents made from it a
wine. not unlike the May wine of the Ger
mans This wine, Of course, had to be con-
sumed at once or it would spoil. But the idea
wos suggested by this practice that good wine
could be made from sweet oranges, and the
question was how to make the wine 80 that it
could become marketable and profitable
commodity As soon as the souring was
overcome, more money had to be invested
This was accomplished after considerable
money had been lost. The sweetest oranges
are selected, those of the navel or seedless
kind; but not until they are fully ripe
Oranges when shipped to market for eating
are generally packed green and ripen on the
way Not so with those used for wine
When gathered, machine removes the peel,
leaving only the juicy pulp. The pulp is
placed in large vat, with layers of the An
gelica grape sugar. The pulp and sugar are
allowed to remain together about three
weeks, when, by the aid of jack-screw press
worked by machinery, the whole of the juice
is squeezed out. This is run off into casks
and purified every month for about two or
three years 1t is kept from souring by the
I'D 49, se{i1 loI
and at the end of that time is considered fit
for general use. 1t is drawn off into casks of
a commercial capacity and is ready for ship
ment.
GAS transportation, especially to a distance,
would cause the wine to muddle, it Is again
refined ct the end of the journey and the
dregs precipitated before it is put into bot
ties, in which condition it is sold to the gen
eral public. The wine has already been ex-
ported to England and many parts of
Europe"
"Is not the wine fermented in some way."
"Not at all. 1t is purely the juice of the
orange, simple fruit wine, and contains no
alcoholic spirits whatever. People eat oranges
after meals as digestive; now they can par
take of the pure juice alone for the Same
reason. | think it will soon outrival any of
the mild drinks of the present day"
Then it is simply still wine without any
intoxicating qualitiesF"
ayes, in its original form. But it can be
made into sparkling wins by the introduc-
ton of carbonic gas. By diluting the orange
juice one-half, and adding the gas a beverage
equal to champagne can be produced, with
out any of its Intoxicating Or enervating
effects. This has been done, and temperance
drinkers have been delighted with it. Asa
summer drink it is far better, according to
medical men, than lime or lemon Juice, as
it does not leave such bad results as some
times follow the drinking Of lemonade. ~

Hurry and DISPATCH.

Among the many causes Of poor and In
efficient work is the habit of hurry which
takes possession Of some busy people Having,
or imagining they have more to do in q
given time than can be done properly, they
grow confused, agitated and nervous; and
under this pressure they proceed with the
work in hard without requisite elaboration
and care, perhaps emitting parts and produc-
ing at last an imperfect and inferior pelfor-
nance which can neither be permanent nor
satisfactory. There Is hardly any employ
ment, from the simplest manual work to tho
most complex and difficult manual labor,
that does not suffer from this cause The
dwelling house in process Of building is to be
finished at a certain time. With proper fore
thought and system it would have been DONE
but the time approaches and the work is stin
incomplete The future occupants are i'm
patient, the contractor is anxious, tho work.
men are driven, the work is hurried through
and annoyance, discomfort, and sometimes
danger ensue and repairs are soon found
necessary.
The business man undertakes moro than he
can manage, the days are not long enough
for his needs, he is agitatsd by the constant
pressure, driven by conflicting claims, his
business suffers for the want of q clear and
cool head, his health suffers from continual
and unrelaxed exertion, his family suffers
from his deterioration, and general disaster
ensues- The physician, with many other
calls to make, hurries through the visit,
neglecting some important symptom, and the
patient dies; the lawyer hurTies through his
plea and loses his case; the preacher hurries
through the preparation Of his sermon and
fails to make an impression; the artist bur
ries on his picture to completion and bis best
conception is not there; the teacher hurries
through a prescribed course of instruction
and the class Is left destitute of the more I'm
portant elements of knowledge II is not too
much to say that a large proportion OF the
unhappiness, the ignorance, the loss Of pro-
perty, and even the loss of life that is endured
il the world is to be directly traced to the
hurry and drive which characterizes so much
of the labor performed.-Public Opinion

HOW A NOVELIST Works

Advice Of an "Overworh" Specialist.
Choice Between Rest and Insanity.
After four months enforced idleness David
Christie Murray, the novelist, is back again
in London and ct work He u thinned down
prodigiously, but seems to have recovered his
old vitality and health Ispeak Of his illness

the best known and most widely read Of the
younger English novelists, his case Is an in

and told me Of tho accumulating orders for
work which he had hanging over him and Of

He ascribsd his increasing nervousness and
inability to work to the excessive use of
tobacco, and he had then gone, I forget how

not prevent our hating the cab down near
the bank, remember, for him to get out and
buy some cigarettes. A few days afterward
came tho announcement In The Atheneum
Of his enforced retirement from all labor and
correspondence and Of the non-appearance OF
his promised Christmas stories.
He tells me now that he went to the most
famous Of "overwork" specialists. The doc
5or made him shake hands with him, grip
ping hard, first with the right hand, then
with the left This was the chief test, and
the decision was that be must take immediate
and complete rest. The novelist pleaded his
list Of pressing engagements and contracts;
the physician declared that he must choose
between repose and the madhousc, for one
side of his brain, and al the nervous organi-
xation which it controlled, was in a most
critical condition. Mr.. Murray then told the
doctor, With q Wow TO reassuring him, that
he had stopped short for some time his use of
tobacco.

you are well again, moderate your smoking

Mr.. Murray went down into the solitude Of
the Cornish coast and, taking a lonesome cot
tage on the cliffs, set himself resolutely to
the task Of doing nothing. The first fortnight
was torture, but the burden Of idleness began
then to grow lighter. Four months of it has
brought him back, ct once more to begin

WHY He Prefers Mules TO Horses.

A well known manufacturer Of this city
it isn't necessary to give his name-tinds it
necessary 10 employ a double team to do his
hauling For several years he kept two
horses, and while they did their work well he
suddenly concluded to dispose of them and
buy a pair Of mules instead. He says that
after the horses had done their days OF weeks
work he was continually annoyed by some Of
his friends or employees asking for the use of
tho horses to take pleasure drives. Not car
ing 70 offend them he frequently acceded to
their requests, while all the time his better
Judgment told him that it was rough on the
horses, which by their honest work were en-
titled to their just rest. This thing went Oil
for q while, and our friend was bordering by
day and by night how he could bring about
a change. It occurred to hum one day that
mules were not very popular for pleasure
driving purposes, but that they answered
every other purpose Of horses-in fact, were
in several respects preferable for his own use.
So he concluded to sell his horses and get a
mule team. His plan worked admirably, and
the other day be informed us that since he
got the mules he hasn't been asked once for
their use by his friends or employees. Allen

A PLEA FOR CASTLES IN THE AIR."

Amid the myriad troubles that meet US day by
day,
Who would not from the conflict moment turn
away,
And in far of fairy land, where men no burdens
bear,
Forget awhile our tears and toll in Castles In
the air?''
When many bright hued prospect fades fast
beyond our view,
And hopes which neared frr1ition prove shadowy
and untrue;
May we not in that dreamland, beyond an clouds
and care,
Behold our paradise restored in Castles in the
air?'
Oh, there are lonely chambers in every home and
heart
And in lifes song Of sorrow each one must bear
apart.
But bark! what mystic melodies soon hush the
voice of care,
AS parted hands are clasped once more in "Castles
in the air."
Then never grow discouraged, though fortune
favors not,
And we pursue ifes pilgrimage unnoticed or
forgot;
We have an hour Of victory and lustrous laurels
wear
For all are kings and conquerors in Castles in
the air.

SOME few years ago a lady from the
south spending the summer here had
negro nurse girl who attended one of the
churches. The girl found no one willing
to remain with her in the pew and her
mistress was surprised and indignant at
race prejudice thus manifesting itself in
church. The same prejudice on larger
scale is manifesting itself in Ohio and
Kansas and at time when the Glinn
bill is being mathematical in all the
loyal journals of the state. The Glinn
bill was Georgia measure and aimed to
punish any white teacher who would give
instruction to white and colored children
In Fort Worth, Kansas, several colored
children made an attempt to attend a
public school, but were expelled solely
on the ground of color. In Ohio like
spectacle was presented. Indeed, in the
latter state there was law in force until
within the last year prohibiting colored
children from attending the public
schools at which white children were ed
ucated. Any attempt of this kind in a
southern state makes the people of the
north bristle with virtuous indignation.

TEACHERS MEETING.

The recent teachers meeting that was
held Saturday last in Dist. No. 3, Schles-
wig, was decidedly success. The teach
ers' present delivered their work In a
straightforward way, emphasizing the
essentials and bringing to light the I'M

subjects, thus rendering their work prac-
teal and hence beneficial to all. After
various deliberate discussions on matters
relating to our meeting, we finally agreed
upon meeting again at the same place
three weeks from to-day, being on the 9Th
day Of November. The following is the
programme:
How to induce scholars TO talk English on

The anarchists are having things their
own way so far as the mouth is concern
ed, In England. At meeting OF social
lists In London lately, one of the orators
suggested that they begin the killing by
slaughtering Minister Phelps, and next
knife President Cleveland. A second
orator regretted that more bombs had
not been thrown at Chicago. A third, a
"comrade" from Chicago, presented a
pitiful picture of the condemned anar-
chists, He said they were confined in
cells 415. Galvanic batteries are con-
nected with their beds and the walls Of
their cells so as to keep them from sleep
ing. Colored lights are turned on sud-
denly in the night so as to alright them
and Irish hirelings visit their cells nightly
and belabor them. The poor anarchists
have hard time of it.

THOU heist, thou knowest, any one
knows where to have rue" were the indig-
nant words of dame Quickly in answer to
Jack Falstaff. But if honest Jack had in
tlmated that no one knew where to find
the protectionists they would be unable
to deny the soft impeachment" with as
much readiness as the keeper of the Red
| Hosiery. 1t has long been favorite
argument of protectionists that the tariff
enables the purchaser to get goods at a
less price than if trade was free. And
this upon the assumption that protection
builds up manufacturing industries whose
competition results in low prices
But then the tariff must be kept up
because through it manufacturers are
enabled to get a higher price for their
wares and IN consequence are able to pay
higher wages to laborers. There is never
any attempt made to explain away the
inconsistency.
Just at present the situation resulting
| from a continuance Of the war tariff is
something calculated to create alarm.
The protectionists perceive this and de-
mand a reduction of the tariff. 1t is
amusing to hear them use arguments
which they have combated for years.
But they make virtue of necessity and
actually demand a reduction of revenues.
The Sentinel says: 'This reduction
should be made by the friends of the pro-
tective policy voluntarily and promptly"
Why by the friends of the protective
policy?" IF the reduction is demanded
in theinterests of the country, why should
those who are responsible for the condi-
ton of affairs, and who fought persist
entity against a remedy until a danger
Gus crisis was reached be trusted with
the work of reducing the tariff? The ply
stefan why knowingly administered the
poison should hardly be trusted to pre-
scribe the antidote.
The Sentinel farther says: ITO at
tempt to accomplish a revenue reduction
by the lowering of duties or large num-
Der of articles is likely to fail, because of
the increased importation that follows a
lowering of duties in most cases." Here
is a complete giving away Of the argu-
ment that protection operates to reduce
the price OF manufactured articles.

THERE are two classes of people who
are pretty well matched and who are cut
from the same piece though woven in
different patterns. There are republicans
who have no ideas Of natural aggrandize-
ment which are net closely hemmed in
by party lines. These people are SO
hide-bound that they really believe q
democratic admins tration is a sort of
anarchist affair and think it is the part
of patriotism to snarl and pout when the
party which owns them body and soul is
out of power.
Then there are democrats who insist
upon apotheosizing the members of their
party who chance to be in power. With
the republican cranks Cleveland is little
more than a criminal; with the demo-
sratlc cranks he is little less than god
And so the interninabls fault-fnding
and fulsome laudation go on, disgusting
everybody and making them wish for a
plague on both houses.

killed In a row at Jacksonville, Fla, by a
man named Bangs. MacWilliams was
the agressor and began the shooting. II

itics of Florida because of his fluency as
